“Have you thought about where you would feel most comfortable living in your senior years?”……
It’s a conversation many of us will encounter with our aging parents soon. 🥹
Considering high costs associated with senior living facilities, families are exploring alternative solutions. With the average monthly cost of senior care living facilities in Arizona ranging between $4,200 and $6,000, families are faced with annual expenses reaching up to $72,000. In contrast, investing in a backyard casita or ADU presents a more cost-effective, long-term solution.
Here’s why building a casita, with an average construction cost of $185,000, could be the perfect choice for your family and how it can save money while improving your loved one’s quality of life.
🛟 Significant Cost Savings
Senior Living Facility: At $5,000 per month, a senior living facility costs $60k annually. At 3 years, the average time spent in a facility, this adds up to $180,000.ADU/Casita: A one-time investment of $185,000 for a custom-built casita pays off within a few years, and avoids recurring costs associated with senior living facilities.
📈Increased Property Value
Building a casita increases your property’s market value, making it a smart investment. Should you choose to sell your home, the casita can significantly enhance appeal and price, potentially recouping much of the initial investment. You can also opt to rent your casita to generate cash flow.
✨ Customizable Living Space
Our casitas are tailored to meet the specific needs of your elderly parent, ensuring they have a comfortable and safe environment. Features such as accessible bathrooms, ramps, and emergency call systems can be easily incorporated, offering a level of personalization for security.
🫂Enhanced Family and Emotional Connection
Keeping your parent close fosters stronger bonds and provides emotional support. Daily interactions, shared activities, and the assurance of having family nearby improve your parent’s quality of life. Housing your parent in a casita allows them to maintain a sense of independence while being close to family. This arrangement reduces emotional stress associated with moving into a senior living facility and offers a sense of security and belonging.
🫶 Investing in a backyard casita offers financial savings compared to the ongoing costs of senior living facilities. It provides a customizable, comfortable living space, strengthens family connections, and enhances property value.
